The Original Broadway production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Cats, premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre on October 7th, 1982. It had a total of 7485 performances. It was the second production of Cats to open worldwide, following the Original London production. In transferring to Broadway, the show was given a significant overhaul with a bigger budget. Many of the subsequent productions worldwide mimicked the Broadway version of the musical. The show won multiple Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score in 1983.
